Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

44 patients were enrolled in this study as they had malignant epithelial ovarian tumor.Pre-operative staging was assessed by CT scan based on FIGO classification and compared to the standard laparotomy surgical staging. Maximal surgical effort for Optimum cytoreduction was achieved and the risk factors for sub-optimal cytoreduction were studied

This is a non-interventional, cross-sectional, multicentre, observational study planned to be conducted at 15 sites across all geographical regions of India. The study targets to enrol 240 patients with approximately 16 patients from each site. Written approval of Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/ Institutional Review Board (IRB) and written informed consent from willing patients will be obtained prior to the start of the study.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether HGF serum concentration might be raised in vivo by administering nadroparin given with prophylactic purpose to gynecological patients.

The purpose of this study is to learn about possible changes in brain anatomy and function, and in thinking abilities, such as memory skills, in patients with ovarian cancer who receive treatment with chemotherapy. Cancer patients treated with chemotherapy may experience changes in thinking abilities, and these may interfere with quality of life. Most of the research to date has involved patients with breast cancer, and there are no studies in women with ovarian cancer looking at at treatment-related changes in brain anatomy and function.

The objective of this trial is to study the management of PPE in participants with metastatic ovarian or breast cancer treated with Caelyx, and determine the frequency of use of pharmacological treatment (preventive or therapeutic) for PPE and compliance of educational recommendations for PPE.

The purpose of this study is to develop new image analysis method using Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) for ovarian cancer. MRI is not currently part of the standard care for ovarian cancer. In this method, a contrast agent is used to make ovarian cancer visible during imaging.

An ovarian cancer cell line (OVTW-59) derived from an ovarian endometrioid carcinoma was established and its sublines, labeled as P0, P1, P2, P3, and P4 with increasing invasion abilities were selected from transwell invasion chambers.Using cDNA microarray and verified with quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, we have identified IGFBP-3 as an invasion-suppressor gene. We plan to study the role of IGFBP-3 in ovarian cancer invasion.

Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study to assess the ability of the Cytuity device to collect cell samples from the fallopian tube that can be evaluated for the presence or absence of malignancy.

Approximately 7,400 new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed each year in the United Kingdom (UK), and with over 4,000 women dying from the disease each year it is a particularly lethal form of cancer. The symptoms for ovarian cancer are not well known and vague, and most women are diagnosed at a late stage when the cancer has already spread around the abdominal cavity with poor prognosis. Novel methods are needed to improve earlier detection and thereby improve survival from this disease. The Cancer Loyalty Card Study (CLOCS) proposes to use loyalty card data from two participating high street retailers to investigate purchase behaviour as an opportunity for cancer symptom surveillance. The investigators aim to conduct a case-control study of ovarian cancer patients matched with women without ovarian cancer and to explore public preferences for how to communicate potential outcomes of the commercial and health data linkages back to individuals. Eligible participants will be women in the UK who own at least one loyalty card with the participating high street retailers. Of these women, those who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer are eligible to participate in the study as cases, while women who have not been diagnosed with ovarian cancer are eligible to participate as controls. Upon choosing to participate, all participants will be asked to complete a short questionnaire about well-established ovarian cancer risk factors and common symptoms either in the clinic (cases) or online/from a packet in the mail(controls). This information will be used in risk assessment for ovarian cancer of participants, which will be used at the analysis stage.

Retrospective and prospective multi-center study Indication: Fertility-sparing surgery for patients with borderline ovarian tumor and fertility Objectives: Description of the characteristics of the patients of less than 45 years having a fertility-sparing surgery for borderline ovarian tumors, the modalities of care and their fertility. Validation of a nomogram as an information medium to the patients concerned on their chance of alive birth according to their personal characteristics Origin and nature of the specific data: Extraction from the database " Tumeurs Malignes Rares de l'Ovaire " (TMRO) Collection of retrospective further informations in the participating centers Data collection from the patients (questionnaires) The data will be identified by the TMRO number allocated to every participant of the TMRO study . Data traffic : TMRO database extraction for the patients with BOT and corresponding to the inclusion criteria, supplied by Arcagy-Gineco. The database will be managed by the coordination team in an anonymous way by means of the patient identifiers of the TMRO base. Enrichment of the base by the anonymous questionnaires filled by the patients and the complementary data transmissions of the centers on anonymised files.
